[ Ming Dynasty ] EP17

You don't deserve Miss Sun.

Your idea or hers?

This is the price for your failure.

She is not an object.

How can we gamble on her?

What if I win?

You can kill me as you want.

But I have ambushed 500 crossbowmen.

If I die, all of you will be shot as hedgehogs.

What a gamble!

I can neither lose nor win.

Guards.

Chase.

Hurry.

Nie Xing.

It's you.

I have said I would kill you if I see you again.

I know.

You are so close to the bloody emperor.

Why don't you...

kill him?

Don't tell me you have a sense of compassion for him.

You shot me with an arrow just now.

I didn't know it's you.

You still protect the bloody emperor.

Here is not the imperial palace.

We are not in prison.

Don't try to lie to me.

You regret it right?

You should have shot me to death far away.

And get some reward with my head.

Why are you laughing?

We were not afraid of death before.

That's bcause of our pride.

But now

I am afraid.

I just knew to be afraid.

I regret to kill you.

It's easy to kill people.

Difficult to save people.

What I am doing.

You won't understand what I am doing.

You really think they will keep their promise?

Hurry, here.

Hurry.

You can never do it.

Nie Xing.

You are always fooled around.

You will see.

Nie Xing.

I won't kill you.

Because I need you to see who is right.

Nie Xing.

Where are you going?

Remember.

You owe me a life.

Nie Xing.

Imperial guards will arrest you.

They will kill you.

Come with me.

Follow me.

Hurry.

You played dirty. Bloody hero.

Actually I am not a hero.

I'm an assassin.

Are you enough, imperial grandson?

No.

We shouldn't have had the gamble.

I don't want to waste much time with you.

Listen.

If the imperial grandson wants to revenge, you can't stop him.

It's an order.

If I kill you, she will hate me forever.

I'm not that stupid.

Since you are not stupid, why don't you go down the mountain with me?

We are not the fellows.

You should go yourself.

Why do you have to do this?

She suits me well.

You are the emperor's grandson.

Why do you hook up with us?

Tell you the truth.

Sun Ruowei is destined to be mine.

If you keep her stay, she will be killed.

Imperial grandson, please think carefully.

Goodbye.

Put down.

Sister, why are you here?

Why don't you tell us?

I need to tell you before I come?

Of course.

We need to get ourselves prepared.

Big mouth.

Such a good boy.

Enough.

I didn't tell you to slap each other.

You don't need to remind us to slap each other.

Two days ago, we were so glad to hear that you get promoted.

Glad?

Sooner or later, we will pay off the debt.

The interest will grow as the time goes.

Sister, you are so generous.

We won't shortchange you even if you don't ask for more.

Yes.

I am a new official.

I come to see the people as I should.

I'm here not as a debt collector.

Manager Jin.

No.

He often manages us.

Sister, you are different.

You manage the whole palaces.

Nonsense.

Manager Jin is so diligent.

He blocked swords for the emperor.

The emperor respects him.

How can we forget him?

I'm here to ask him if I can do something for him.

The palace adopts the law of the jungle.

Lady Hu.

It's hot.

Lady Hu.

Just say it, don't get attached.

If I did something wrong previously, please don't take it personally.

I'll follow you in the future.

What do you want to say?

I'll introduce some mates for you.

And I will say you are going to be our master.

Forgetting it is the best.

Anyway, if you marry the imperial grandson,

Anyway, if you marry the imperial grandson,

I will be the director of the imperial grandson's palace.

If you are the crown princess, I will be the director of the crown prince's palace.

If you are the queen, I will still be your servant.

We are good sisters in private.

Who told you I would marry the imperial grandson?

Who told you I would marry the imperial grandson?

It's out of thin air.

Stop talking nonsense.

Ok, don't be shy.

Everyone knows.

The crown princess likes you.

Sisters say, if you can make a career, we will collect money to support you

by tightening the belt.

Collect money?

Whatever for?

I can win the beauty election with money?

You need a decent background for the election right?

Who is your referrer?

It's easy for the crown princess to nod.

But we need to find a good referrer.

We need to find an important official as the referrer, so great.

Submit your three generations in the memorial.

And we just need to wait for the good news.

Find an important official.

How important?

The highest.

Of course the emperor.

No.

The crown prince.

Prince Han, prince Zhao or the like.

Or we can...

His wound relapses. And hemorrhage.

He is young, and he survives at last.

We should have killed him.

Where are you going to find him?

Imperial grandson, please come in.

I want to talk to you.

How did Nie Xing hurt her last night?

Nie Xing went to mountain Ling and tried to kill the emperor there.

Ruowei shot him.

Just want to save him.

But Nie Xing refused.

They had a dispute.

They fought so fiercely.

When I saw her, she...

Nie Xing.

Nie Xing is such a jerk.

Why did he hurt her?

Nie Xing is unreconstructed.

He said he would kill her, and he just did it.

Thank you, imperial grandson.

Why?

I didn't promise you that you could go.

Thank you for not telling the imperial guards to go on searching.

That's why.

I'm afraid if I kill him, you will hate me for a lifetime.

My lifetime? No.

Also no for Nie Xing.

Are you going to leave?

Are you going to live a nomadic life with them?

My life was ruined ten years ago.

You helped us a lot.

We will repay you in the afterlife.

Afterlife.

The life will determine all your lives.

If you really want to repay me, you should let down your past and live well.

But I don't know how to live on.

I can teach you.

Wash your face, and do the makeup.

Later, grandfather sends someone to see if you are well.

Last night, I was almost going to lose my head, right?

Grandpa told me if you hadn't frightened the demon in his heart,

we wouldn't see each other today.

To be frank, I envy you.

If you insist on escaping, you can go everywhere.

But I need to stay here.

I need to know how to lie to my grandfather.

How to explain the assassin last night.

And why you are injured.

And who they are outside the door.

What should I say?

I know.

You don't want to stay here.

But I still want to tell you one thing.

You should think you died ten years ago.

Now you are a ghost.

And act the play with me.

This morning father left Jiming Temple.

He didn't go back to the palace directly. And I don't know where he went.

You even lost the emperor.

Ok, next time I won't tell you.

I dare not to follow him, ok?

Otherwise, you can take charge of the imperial guards?

Ok, come back right on time.

I don't want to be the regent.

I need to be here all day long.

Brother.

You really don't know what father means?

Father, he will reveal himself when he is alone.

You really think he is a monk in Jiming Temple?

He comes back after he sets up the trap.

I just come to realize.

You are right.

No wonder I feel something wrong recently.

He just wants to lock me up here.

What does he want?

Jianwen.

What?

Last night one imperial guard died.

I prepared plan B.

I told his lover to buy some intelligence.

1000 liang.

Just got two words.

No.

Did father go to see Jianwen?

Great.

He cut off one of your arms.

Great.

Brilliant.

Ok.

He will call the tune anyway.

I will improvise.

Great.

Your Majesty.

You like Bai Juyi now?

Your Majesty.

Throughout my life, I always want to be casual and elegant bearing.

But I am so ugly.

So I just use my imagination with the ancient poems.

You?

Here it is full of wild shrieks and howls.

Can you stand it?

I was a little sad on the first day.

Full of misery and tears.

Next day, I got better.

If I cry for others, who will cry for me?

All people have desires.

Crying is useless.

Recently I can't hear anymore.

You seem to have much time.

You can live here as you want.

We won't charge you money.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Give you another chance.

See the cage?

Yes.

If you can't give me a proper answer, you need to go on staying here.

Yes.

Who should be my successor?

Crown prince.

Why?

A good grandson can keep the Ming dynasty prosper for three generations.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Why are you here?

Crown prince.

Why do you wear court dress?

Father is back, we need the noon levee.

Brother.

You look pale.

You need more sunshine.

Both of you, get out.

Crown prince.

You need some rest right?

Father fools us around, you don't know?

I know.

Father is going to fight.

I don't agree on the budget.

So he leaves the army problem to you.

So I can have some rest.

And you can know how it feels to be the regent.

He is making fun of us.

You don't know him?

After all these years, he manipulates us all the time.

But you feel it's ok when you know the fact.

Pooh!

Guard.

He needs a friend.

All because of the oestrus.

Find one in the imperial concubines' palace.

The copulation.

Yes. I will do it right away.

Well.

You can't peek.

Yes.

We can't indulge Oirat. Otherwise, we will pay the price sooner or later.

Your Majesty.

We should send troops as early as possible.

But the battle will cost the tax revenue

of seven provinces in Jiangnan region.

Then we can't make it when the turmoil comes.

Crown prince.

This is war, not business.

You are so improvident.

How can you assist the emperor?

Stop it.

Listen, everyone.

Crown prince is right.

But he doesn't know all.

We won't gain anything after we fight against Oirat.

We need to win the lands for our descendants.

Fight the place of living for them.

We need to have a larger territory than Han dynasty,

and Tang dynasty.

You need to know this.

Yes.

You are benevolent.

I am relieved to leave the country to you.

Prince Han and prince Zhao will fight for the descendants.

And the crown prince is the regent.

Prince Han and prince Zhao will take charge of the military force.

and devise the expedition plan.

Here is the imperial decree.

From today on.

The crown prince will be the regent and take care of all the departments.

And reward him.

And Yang Shiqi will be the grand secretary of Wenhua cabinet,

and the minister of defense.

Yang Rong and Yangfu will be the grand secretary of the Huairen cabinet.

Congratulations.

Imperial decree.

Where is scholar Xie?

I am here, thank you, Your Majesty.

I haven't read the decree yet.

Why do you say thank you?

Say it after I read it.

Yes...

I am too nervous.

The emperor says you are well learnt.

If you recognize these ten characters,

you can be admitted to the cabinet as the grand secretary.

Otherwise, you need to listen to the imperial decree.

I...

I am sorry, I can't.

Here is the imperial decree.

You scholar Xie say you are well learnt.

You read all kinds of books.

Why do you give the eunuchs money and

tell them to steal the emperor's reading lists for you?

The emperor has endured you for a long time.

You should take some credit for the compilation of the Yongle Canon.

But I didn't expect you would push in.

You instigate the crown prince to bring a false charge against Yang Shiqi.

And push the crown prince's assistants aside.

You want to be Yang Xiu.

But I don't want to be Cao Cao.

Pack up your things and go to the frontier.

You can play dirty there. Go.

That's all.

This is the first time to make an imperial edict in vernacular.

Scholar Xie.

Thank the emperor now.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Come in.

Go, crown prince.

You are the regent.

You are the crown prince.

You are the regent.

You.

Please.

Look.

Well.

Prince Han, you are so prestigious.

As I know, you met many officials.

You play with the broadsword when you talk to them.

Dad, I often practice the broadsword.

I like sweating.

You should go out of Pass with me.

You can practice there.

Prince Zhao.

Your Majesty.

How many orphans survived the Jingnan campaign?

What are they doing?

Around 37,000.

They help soldiers build cities on active service.

Some hold lectures for the prisoners.

Some hold lectures for the prisoners.

Live well?

I mean, yeah.

Gradual deregulation.

If the senior need to see doctors, they can come with their kids.

And their children can attend the national examination.

Check all the identities.

I need to know how many people are innocent,

and how many people are implicated.

Yes.

Yes, you are wise.

Wise?

I will thank you if you don't speak evil behind my back.

We need to fix the family matters quickly.

We need to hold a wedding ceremony for my grandson quickly.

Set a date for the relocation of the capital.

So I can rest in peace.

Dad is back.

We three are together again.

I am relieved.

Stop acting.

You really think the father has clairvoyance?

He can do everything, but we can't.

Second brother, hold your tongue.

Second brother, hold your tongue.

Eldest brother, you are so ridiculous.

I...

Father gave you the imperial decree after he came back.

But you didn't tell us a thing.

Crown prince.

After you become the emperor, will you spare our lives?

Brothers.

I can tell you, the father has clairvoyance.

I don't believe it.

The Dutch's tribute, the tube can be stretched out.

It's true.

Brother.

You pant while you speak.

You want to cause us troubles?

Let me tell you.

We will have no way to go after you are the emperor.

Eyes on the road.

Be careful.

Someone is crying outside.

Do something.

Why crying? No one died.

Let him go.

You think he listens to me?

He wants to see you.

Now I can't take a nap.

I will let him in.

No, you...

Your Grace.

Crown prince.

Step aside.

Your Grace.

Let me in. Let me go.

Go...

We need to talk.

The emperor said, we are in collusion.

How could this happen?

I am your assistant.

Of course, I am on your side.

He thinks I work for you, but actually, I speak for prince Han?

When did I bring a false charge against Yang Shiqi?

When did I bring a false charge against Yang Shiqi?

Yes, I did say after Yang Shiqi leaves the crown prince's residence,

he wouldn't stand on the crown prince's side.

We all know this.

Think.

I devoted myself to the compilation of the Yongle Canon.

I made all-out efforts.

The emperor has some misundestanding for me.

You should help me.

Crown prince.

Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie.

Look at this cup.

He told you to go to the frontier.

Just do it as he said.

Yang Shiqi went to prison because of you, and he said nothing, right?

You think I don't save you.

If I speak one word for you, our plot will be true.

If you hadn't compiled the Yongle Canon,

I am afraid you would lose your head now.

If the emperor knows you come here, it will be the blizzard.

You should go to the frontier.

You can fly high there.

It's better than in the imperial prison.

Go...

Go.

Are you feeling better, Miss Sun?

Much better.

You should go to the corridor.

If someone asks you, you should say it's the decoction for Miss Sun.

They should keep quiet and don't speak loudly.

Yes.

What medicine?

You got me there.

It's good for your blood.

Lady ordered me before I came here.

It's the emperor's decree.

We can't be careful enough.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Hu Shanxiang.

Your original name?

Miss Sun, and you?

Ruowei.

R-U-O.

W-E-I.

Miss Sun.

Ten years ago, my surname was not Hu.

My parents...

Have you played the game?

I knew it's you.

Manyin.

Sister.

I am your sister.

God bless.

We meet again.

Manyin.

Sister.

Sister.

Manyin.

Manyin.

Put the memorials over there.

Come...

Seal the box and put it here.

Don't move.

Brother.

You come here in person.

You just leave it to them.

No.

I just want to return it to you.

Brother, crown prince.

Please count carefully.

I put the list there.

And I didn't touch these memorials.

Brother.

You are teasing now.

Let me tell you.

The work is so exhausting.

I just have some rest.

Look at your aggrieved face.

I can tell your father that you can work for more days.

No.

I don't want to steal your thunder.

But...

You are the regent for so many years.

How do you make it?

Brother.

I work all day long, and the complaints are my reward.

I will be scolded for laziness.

Let me tell you a truth.

I am so fed up with the crater.

My bones hurt badly.

Maybe one day, I will tumble over and never get up.

All the work will be yours.

God has arranged all.

Don't care about it.

Crown prince.

I saw Xie Jin just now.

Xie...

He came here to ask for your help.

Nonsense.

I kicked him out.

He is going to make trouble for me.

I can tell you.

Some people are so ridiculous.

So outrageous.

You mean Xie Jin?

I...

Where is my scholar of Baimao cabinet?

Scholar of Baimao cabinet?

Scholar of Baimao cabinet.

Crown prince.

Scholar of Baimao cabinet is here.

Look at you.

See.

Dog gains some weight recently.

I almost can't hold it.

Yang Shiqi demotes Xie Jin.

Crown prince.

Now you have the ministry of the army in your hands.

You win.

I...
